The historic winery Vera de Estenas, held on June 15 an exclusive and limited historical tasting of DO Utiel-Requena. We went the first private cellar of the region that bottled Reserva and Gran Reserva wines varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, as well as the first to develop an aging of white wines with Chardonnay grapes and how could it be otherwise, we went pioneers in Bobal grape growing old and produce great wines from this variety.
For over 30 years, we've saved a sensational sample of the best years in our cellar, so that today we have the privilege of tasting wines that were developed in the early 80s and it is an adventure to know how have evolved and what we can find in the bottle.
We have prepared an exclusive tasting, where only one group of privileged we know the passage of time and what these wines in store for us as curious. The vintages to taste are: 1982,1983,1985,1991, 1993,1998,1999 and 2000.

Winegrowing notes
The harvest began on September the 1st and finished on October the
14th. Summer was somewhat warmer than usual, which brought forward the
harvesting dates, essentially for the Merlot and Syrah varieties. The
arrival of rain and cool temperatures in September delayed the picking
of the Tempranillo and Cabernet Sauvignon varieties. The vinification
was carried out in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks at 22 to
28°C, with a maceration period of between 15 and 21 days, depending on
the varieties and the winemaking objectives sought for each of them. The
malolactic fermentation took place in tank for all four varieties, at
the end of which the blending was done. The aging time in oak barrels
was 6 months.
Tasting Note
The wine has a medium-deep, clean, cherry-red colour. Faithful to the
style of this brand, it displays a wonderful nose that reveals a
complete palette of fruit aromas, ranging from wild strawberries to
dried peaches, together with notes of scrubland and red liquorice,
against a backdrop of very clean and well integrated oak. First
impression on the palate is fluid, although it gradually gains in
stature, as the fresh berry fruit flavours develop into serious notes of
good oak aging, followed by a long and complex finish.

The wine, a real social network
9:30 AM | Publicado por
vinovalenciano |
Edit Post
Although trendy is the digital world and all that is now called "social networks", have been around for a lot of time, and almost since man discovered wine. Drink it and enjoy it in a group is the origin of the social network around this food. Sometimes drunk in moderation, sometimes as bacchanal, but made people gather together around this drink for fun, out of business, love, celebrate an event, etc ...
We live in a society too globalized, but also very impersonal, sometimes you may find your neighbor and do not know, when you wear ten years living together in the same building. Interpersonal relationships often encounter obstacles that we put on ourselves, such as social status, socioeconomic level, distance, tastes and preferences when interacting, and countless of them we could enumerate.
The wine has served to strengthen many relationships like this for centuries, and the Greeks, Phoenicians and Romans considered it a drink to cleanse the soul and our worries and assured the healing the sadness (Séneca 4 - 65 BC. ), and later was used to celebrate victories in major battles or to sit at the table to warriors and peasants who drowned their sorrows after a day of long and hard work.
In this century, so modern and advanced, still use the wine to get together around a table and celebrate simple things like that one day we first met around a glass of wine and now occasionally we still celebrate seeing, we have become good friends and share a social life that never before could have had as much internet we have at our disposal.
It is important in this world to share experiences like this makes us better people, more tolerant, more open to meeting people from other cultures, our children become friends and between them seems to be known of all life, and if at some point given someone leaves the social network, quiet waiting list to join the group and continue to grow.
